Little Big Attack on Cyber-Jihad("Spiegel" on Freerepublic, jveritas work against Cyber-Jihad)

Großangriffchen auf den Cyber-Dschihad

Von Yassin Musharbash

Am 19. Juli rief "jveritas" im Internet dazu auf, von ihm identifizierte Pro-Terror-Websites auszuschalten. Seine Idee war simpel: Die Hostingfirmen mit massenhaften Beschwerde-Mails dazuzubringen, die Seiten zu sperren. Und sie funktionierte auch - ein bisschen.

Seit einem Monat herrscht im dschihadistischen Internet ein kleines Erdbeben. Ein knappes Dutzend prominenter Websites (so weit ich zählen kann) ist ihm bereits zum Opfer gefallen. Das Qaida-nahe Diskussionsforum "Das Paradies": bis auf weiteres geschlossen. Die Bekennerschreibenabwurfseite "Welt-Nachrichten-Netzwerk": eine Cyber-Ruine. Das Terroristen-Blog der englischsprachigen "Globalen Islamischen Medienfront": nicht mehr existent.

Abgeschaltetes Blog von Terrorsympathisanten: Unter neuer Adresse schon wieder auferstanden Großbildansicht

Abgeschaltetes Blog von Terrorsympathisanten: Unter neuer Adresse schon wieder auferstanden Angefangen hat das Massensterben in der zweiten Julihälfte. Ein gewisser "jveritas" löste es mit einem Aufruf auf freerepublic.com aus, einem Treffpunkt von Internetaktivisten, News-Junkies und, wie es scheint, stramm bis rechts-konservativen US-Patrioten. "Wir sollten versuchen, jede bekannte Terroristen-Website auszuschalten, um eine schockierende Nachricht an die islamischen Terroristen zu senden und ihnen einen psychologischen Schlag beizubringen", schlug "jveritas" vor.

Gesagt, getan - schließlich war die Methode, die "jveritas" sich überlegt hatte, denkbar einfach: Weil viele dieser Webseiten von US-amerikanischen Firmen gehostet werden, sollten seine Mitstreiter sich dort beschweren. Zu diesem Zweck veröffentlichte er eine Liste mit URLs von Pro-Dschihad-Websites, dazu gehörigen IP-Adressen und den Adressen der Provider beziehungsweise Hoster. "Jveritas" formulierte sogar Beschwerde-Mails vor. Er fand schnell viele Helfer, die sich beglückt äußerten, selbst endlich einmal etwas gegen Terroristen tun zu können. Das Forum, in dem sie sich austauschen, umfasst mittlerweile 143 Seiten. Nach wenigen Tagen gab es erste Erfolgsmeldungen: "Gute Arbeit! Eine weitere Seite geschlossen!", hieß es etwa am 20. Juli über "Das Paradies".

Thanks PG

What I understand from the preliminary translation of this article is besides that it talks about what we are doing there is someone else who has a site called the "internet Haganah" who is opposed to the campaign to shut down the terrorist websites. I had my private "heated" discussion with him via e-mails last week and I will talk about it when the time is appropriate. The irony is that the internet Haganah fellow has been doing the same thing for a long time i.e. shutting down the terrorist websites but now he is opposing this action.

“The Internet, with its thousands of extremest websites and chat-rooms, is a virtual incubator of its own. In fact, many of the extremists began their radical conversion while researching or just surfing in the cyber world.”

Oh please. It’s posted so those who CAN translate it can have a look at it. If you don’t like it, I think you can close the window and read another thread. Or maybe you’d just like to stick around and whine?

That "Spiegel" article is very flattering towards you and your efforts. The author also does not cast Free republic in an unflattering light.

What the author is saying is that "Internet Haganah" is sniffing their noises at your efforts because they are of the opinion that shutting down the blogs runs the jihadists underground makes them harder to fight. The author poses the rhetorical question if it is better to battle jihadist blogs as you do, or just use them as a source of information as "Internet Haganah" does..

The author's summary says that even though you have managed to bring sites down, they are slowly but surely starting to come back online, so "Internet Haganah" objections are a moot point. He calls it an episode in the online war against the Jihadists.

My impression is that the author admires your efforts, but feels that that that the enemy is very adaptable. He names it an 'episode' in the online war against the Jihadists.

Use google translate

Right. I think the original German made more sense to me than the google translation. And I don't understand German at all.
